Journal ArticleDOI
A draft genome of field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) provides tools for the domestication of a new winter biofuel crop
TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of pennycress gene homologues involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis, metabolism, and transport pathways revealed high sequence conservation compared with other Brassicaceae species, and helps validate the assembly of the penny cress gene space in this draft genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Pipeline Strategy for Grain Crop Domestication
Lee R. DeHaan,David L. Van Tassel,James A. Anderson,Sean R. Asselin,Richard Barnes,Gregory J. Baute,Douglas J. Cattani,Steve W. Culman,Kevin M. Dorn,Brent S. Hulke,Michael B. Kantar,Steve R. Larson,M. David Marks,Allison J. Miller,Jesse Poland,Damián A. Ravetta,Emily Rude,Matthew R. Ryan,Donald L. Wyse,Xiaofei Zhang +19 more
TL;DR: To increase success in contemporary domestication of new crops, this work proposes a pipeline approach, with attrition expected as species advance through the pipeline, and presents new-crop case studies that demonstrate that wild species’ limitations and potential are often only revealed during the early phases of domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo assembly of the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) transcriptome provides tools for the development of a winter cover crop and biodiesel feedstock
TL;DR: An annotated transcriptome assembly for pennycress was reported, allowing for the identification of putative genes controlling important agronomic traits such as flowering and glucosinolate metabolism and testable hypotheses concerning their conserved function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular tools enabling pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) as a model plant and oilseed cash cover crop
Michaela McGinn,Winthrop B. Phippen,Ratan Chopra,Sunil Bansal,Brice A. Jarvis,Mary E. Phippen,Kevin M. Dorn,Maliheh Esfahanian,Tara J. Nazarenus,Edgar B. Cahoon,Timothy P. Durrett,M. David Marks,John C. Sedbrook +12 more
TL;DR: Pennycress can serve as a user‐friendly model system akin to Arabidopsis that is well‐suited for both laboratory and field experimentation and will accelerate oilseed‐crop translational research and facilitate pennycress’ rapid domestication to meet the growing sustainable food and fuel demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perennial Grain and Oilseed Crops
Michael B. Kantar,Catrin Tyl,Kevin M. Dorn,Xiaofei Zhang,Jacob M. Jungers,Joe M. Kaser,Rachel R. Schendel,James O. Eckberg,Bryan C. Runck,Mirko Bunzel,Nicholas R. Jordan,Robert M. Stupar,M. David Marks,James A. Anderson,Gregg A. Johnson,Craig C. Sheaffer,Tonya C. Schoenfuss,Baraem Ismail,George E. Heimpel,Donald L. Wyse +19 more
TL;DR: Perennials may require less fertilizer, help prevent runoff, and be more drought tolerant than annuals, and end-use possibilities involve food, feed, fuel, and nonfood bioproducts.
